The folklore of the witch's familiar is so widely known, it is scarcely necessary to
describe it. Medieval witches were supposed to keep certain types of animals as
pets. These were not ordinary animals, but were held to have unnatural
intelligence and magic abilities that were employed to serve the purposes of the
witch. Usually the familiar beast was identified as a cat, particularly a black cat,
but any animal associated with Hecate, the goddess of witches, might serve. This
included cats ...

THE FOURTH RULE is, that when any word in a vision is declared to be
symbolical, it will generally guide us into a right interpretation of the rest of that
vision. Thus “ the ten horns” in chap. xvii. are symbols. They are “ten kings.” What
then is the beast from which those horns do sprout? Is it a literal wild beast? No;
for ten kings could not proceed from a literal beast. Nor could “the woman, which
is that great CITY,” sit upon an animal. Without difiiculty, therefore, you see (had
you no other ...

tightened around him. He tried to stand up, but he couldn't move his legs. The
dragon had looped its snaky form around his lower body. Two gleaming eyes set
in a narrow head on a long neck swung round to look straight at him. Tom stared
as a forked tongue, black as night, flickered in and out betweenthe Beast's
bloodless reptilian lips. The dragonbrought its head right up to Tom's face. Tom
wanted to look ...

“Familiar” is an acquired template that can be added to some animals of Tiny size
(see table below for specific types of animals). A familiar is a normal animal that
gains new powers and becomes a magical beast when summoned to service by
an adept, sorcerer, witch†, or wizard. It retains the appearance, Hit Dice, base
attack bonus, base save bonuses, skills, and feats of the normal animal it once
was, but it is treated as a magical beast instead of an animal for the purpose of
any ...

And he destroyed all the substance that was upon the earth, from man even to beast, and the creeping things and fowls of the air : and they were destroyed from
the earth : and Noe only remained, and they that were with him in the ark." J The
reader least familiar with forensic or other rules of construction, cannot fail to
notice, that it was the wickedness of man, which, if I may so express my thought,
moved God to think of man's destruction. It was man's (j) Gen. Yii. 62 THE

Inside the beast felt a familiar hunger, a hunger that could only be quenched by
the taste of sweet, innocent blood. Its eyes darted, searching in the whirl of
shadows. The only sounds to be heard were the gentle sounds of birds as they
sang their silent warnings. The birds knew what was about to happen, but they
were always so often ignored. The beast gazed around with a new found sense
for the world before it. It found its eyes transfixed on a small white house. The beast seemed ...

... a familiar beast. It lives a secluded life, and seldom haunts the abodes of men.
The jackal, therefore, is the original of those Oriental myths which European
fabulists have adapted, and wherein the Western fox takes the place of its foreign
congener. The two animals have very much in common in habits and character,
though the fox is the superior in physical endurance, speed, and, perhaps,
courage. I qualify my opinion on the last point, because it may be that the
appearance of ...
